IMessages not sent to iPhone recipients

Hi. I sent an iMessage from my MacBook Air and it was highlighted blue which is supposed to mean the message was successfully sent. Yet, the intended recipient (an iPhone #) doesn't receive anything. My account is set up correctly and enabled in Messages/Preferences/Accounts. How to get the iMessaging working? Thanks.

Yes, I know that, but when receiving a SMS, even if the iPhone is turned off or in airplane mode, the message is not completely lost, it will arrive as soon as the iPhone is turned back on ...

  • Imessages not sent until iphone reboot

    Hi,
    on IPHONE 5, since upgrade to IOS 7 (same issue on 7.0.2) imessages sometimes not sent out with progress bar
    the only way to stop it is to reboot the phone, then you can retry and it sends out ok.
    Same issue on wifi or lte network.

    A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.
    iOS7.0.3 will be available next week that resolves this issue.

  • Mail not sent from iphone mail app

    I tried to send a mail through the mail app through my gmail account. Was shocked that the mail was not sent nor I can find it in any of "sent" or "draft" boxes. And the very disappointing thing about this problem is that there was no errors, and I just knew about 12 hours later from the expected recipient that he did not receive my mail.

    I hate iOS 7, thus I mat start to hate iPhone and Apple.

    Has the Mobile Me account been set up on your iPhone as POP rather than IMAP? If it has been set up as POP then any message sent will not be mirrored. Your Mobile Me account should also be configured as IMAP on all your devices in order to see those messages in your Sent Items folder.
    The idea of IMAP is to be device independent such that whatever you do is mirrored on all your devices as they each synchronize with Mobile Me. I suppose you could view the Mobile Me "cloud" as being the main repository. If you delete a message from your Inbox via your iPhone, the next time you connect your Mac that message will not appear in the associated Inbox in Mail.
    Does that make sense?

  • IMessage not syncing between iPhone and iPad

    Someone please help!!
    I recently got an iPad and have managed to set everything up but am having a problem with my iMessage. I am able to send and receive iMessages on both my iPad and iPhone but when this happens, it does not show up in the other device. So for example, I receive an iMessage on my phone but it will not display on my iPad.
    When I try to add an email address through iMessage>send and receive>add email, it is telling me my password is incorrect. I have tried changing my password and using a different email address but it won't work. Everything is set up fine on my iPad (I think!) but my iPhone is the problem.
    Any suggestions??
    Happy new year!

    I'm not sure about that. I think the caller ID just identifies where the message originates. I think this syncing problem is actually in the system and related to rolling out a new service.  Frankly, I have not been able to get consistent results.
    For example, last night I was sending iMessages to my iPhone to my wife's iPhone.  Both phones have caller ID set to phone number and the messages were sent to her phone number, not her Apple ID. The conversation thread show up on my iPad but not her iPad.  If I did the reverse, that is sent the message from her iPhone to mine, I still got the tread on my iPad but not her iPad. Conversations originating either iPad to either Apple ID synced just fine on all devices.
    That said, this morning, I tried the exact same thing - sending a message to her phone number from mine -- and this time my iPad did not sync as it did last night and her remained unresponsive.
    My conclusion: the service is behaving erratically and the only way to ensure a fully synced thread for now is make sure the conversation originates with a message to an Apple ID and not a phone number.

  • Old iMessages not showing on iPhone 6 after upgrade from iP5

    Hey guys,
    I've picked up my iP6 today and I can't see any of the old iMessages I've had. They are still showing on my MBP but not on the new iPhone (MBP is still running Mavericks as I don't want to upgrade before I submit the project for work next week... just a precaution ). Any ideas?

    I haven't done a recent backup - any chance I can get them synced via iCloud? I've assumed this would happen since it's being constantly synced with everything else I've got running on iOS

  • Texts(iMessages) not syncing between iPhone and iPad. How can it be fixed?

    After installing IOS .7.2 update for version 7.0
    My texts no longer sync.
    Happens to sent  and received.
    I have texts on iPad thatt didn't arrive on my iPhone and vise versa.
    Internet all good on both.
    My texts usually come in at the same time to iPhone and iPad,  or a few seconds apart, if that
    They aren't updating. I get some, but not all. I'm carrying on two different convos on my phone or iPad with the same person, not realizing I've missed some of their texts.
    Besides the rests and restarts if which I've done to both, any suggestions on how I can fix this?
    Thanks

  • Imessage not working with iphone 4

    my imessage stopped working with my iphone 4.  it was working but then i had to restore it because it got deleted by mistake.  i've since restored it twice and it's still not working

    Apps and contacts can by synced back to the device through iTunes. The backup handles different content. This support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 tells you what is in the backup. If that doesn't matter to you, you can restore as a new device and see if that helps. There could be something in the backup that is creating the problem.

  • IMessage not working on iPhone 5 on Rogers

    It hasn't been working for quite some time now and it's very annoying..I live in southern Alberta in Canada and on the Rogers network using iPhone 5. Any fixes?

    I'm not sure it would be just that particular network, but iMessage uses data via the Apple servers. Go to Settings>Messages>and see if iMessage is activated. If not, turn it on and see if it activates. If it is, you might want to turn it off, wait about 30 seconds and then turn it back on and see if it activates.
